keeping the clueby Cordy
“Dad?” I muttered. “Dad, is that you?” I was having trouble seeing
because of a very bright light behind him.
“It’s not your turn yet, Jack,” he said. “Go back.”
“I can’t it hurts too much. Can’t I stay here with you?”
“It’s not your time,” he said and started to fade away. Suddenly I was
in a room with Lexy.
“Lexy?” I asked. “What’s going on?” Suddenly I saw that she was
crying. “What’s wrong?”
“Come back to me Jack. I need you here with me,” she said. She came
closer to me, and kissed me. I looked down, and saw my hospital room.
Ma was crying, and the nurses were trying to keep Lexy and Katie out of
the room. Lexy got away from them, and started to cry as she came up
to me. I saw her say something, but I couldn’t hear her. She leaned
over and kissed me, and then moved out of the way of the doctors.
When I looked up again, it was Katie in front of me.
“Why did you jump in front of me? It should have been me!” she said,
and burst into tears. I looked down again, and Katie was standing at
the end of the bed crying. She wasn’t saying anything, but it was as
if I could hear her thoughts. I kept watching as Lexy walked over to
Katie. She put her arms around her, and they cried together as they
walked out to go back to the waiting room.
Suddenly, Todd was in front of me. “I should have been there. I
should have been able to help,” he said. “We already lost Dad, we
can’t lose you too!!” I realized that Ma must have called him to tell
him what happened. When I looked down, I suddenly wasn’t looking into
the hospital room anymore. I saw Todd packing a bag. “He must be
coming home,” I thought. Suddenly someone came in, and handed him a
phone. He listened for a moment, and then fell to the floor in tears.
He stayed like that for a moment, and then stood up, wiped his eyes,
and continued packing.
I looked back up, and Todd was still there. “No, it’s not your
fault!!” I tried to tell him, but it was as if he couldn’t hear me. He
slowly started to fade, but I went toward him. “Listen to me!!” I
said. Suddenly, it was as if he was listening to me. “It’s not your
fault!!” I said, and then Dad was back in front of me.
“You can’t leave them yet. It’s not your time. They still need you.
Look,” he said, and I saw everyone, including Ma looking at me, with
tears in their eyes. “They still need you. Go back.” Suddenly I felt
a jolt, and started falling.
“Dad, help me!” I yelled, but he was gone. The words “they still need
you,” and “go
back,” kept echoing as I fell. I screamed, but
stopped suddenly when I started to hear the machines again.
‘eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-beep, beep, beep’
Suddenly, Ma gasped. “Jack?” she said.
“Dad?” I opened my eyes, and saw the doctors. Ma walked around them,
and came up to me.
“No, sweetie, it’s me.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not leaving you again. It’s not my time,” I said.
She leaned over and gave me a hug. Lexy and Katie walked back in the
room, and they both started to smile. “You won’t believe what I saw,”
I said.
“Later, tell us later,” Ma answered. “You need your rest now.”
“No, it’s important. I saw Dad, and he told me you guys still need me,
and that it wasn’t my time to go yet.” Lexy walked over and kissed me
and then said, “I’m glad he did.”
